Introduction

Gryphon D432/D412Plus Family Description

The Gryphon D432/D412Plus Family Hand-Held Reader packs a lot of performance into an

attractive, rugged, hand-held device. It operates in commercial and industrial environments as

well as the front office.

Omni-directional

Operating

To read a symbol or capture an image

, you simply aim the reader and pull the trigger. Since Gryphon

D432/D412Plus Family is a powerful omni-directional reader, the orientation of the symbol is not

important.

Decoding

and

Imaging

Thanks to powerful algorithms, Gryphon D432/D412Plus reliably decodes all major 1D (linear) bar-

codes, 2D stacked codes (such as PDF417), 2D matrix s

y

mbols (such as DataMatrix), postal codes (such as

POSTNET, PLANET). The data stream — acquired from decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host.

The reader is immediately available to read another symbol.

Gryphon D432/D412Plus can also function as a camera

by capturing images of labels, signatures,

and other items.

FLASH MEMORY

Flash technology allows you to upgrade the Gryphon D

432/D412Plus reader as new symbologies are

supported or as improved decoding algorithms become available.

USA Driver License

Pa

r

sing

The Gryphon D432/D412Plus reader can be set up to select

and output a subset of data elements

from USA Driver License PDF417 barcodes. This feature can be enabled using either Datalogic Alad-

din™ or the barcodes in the USA Driver License Parsing Quick Reference Guide (QRG), available on

the

Datalogic website.

ader at some later

time.

Introduction

12 Gryphon™ D432/D412Plus

Configuration Methods

Reading Configuration Codes

This manual can be used for complete setup and configuration. If you wish to change the

default settings, you can configure the Gryphon D432/D412Plus reader by reading the

programming code symbols in this manual. Configuration commands and their relative

arguments are read individually using the symbols in this manual. See Appendix D.

Using Datalogic Aladdin™

The Datalogic Aladdin™ program, available for download from the Datalogic Web site, allows

programming the reader by selecting configuration commands or printing them through a user-

friendly graphical interface running on the PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the

current communication interface, or they can be printed to be read.

Sending Configuration Strings from Host

An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS-232 or USB

COM interface. This method is particularly usef

ul when many devices need to be configured

with the same settings. Batch files containing the desired parameter settings can be prepared to

configure devices quickly and easily.

The Gryphon D432/D412Plus reader incorporates a

multi-standard interface, which can be

connected to a Host by plugging the correct interface cable into the connector and closing the

cable cover.

Product Reference Guide 13

Chapter 2

Using the Gryphon D432/412Plus

Aiming System

The Gryphon D432/D412Plus reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on

cameras. By partially pulling the trigger, the aiming system indicates a field of view to be

positioned over the code:

Figure 3. Aiming System

When you pull the trigger completely a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming system is

centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get a good read. The

field of view changes size as you move the reader closer or farther away from the code.

Figure 4

Linear barcode 2D Matrix symbol

. Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern

The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller when the Gryphon D432/

D412Plus is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with

smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars

Using the Gryphon D432/412Plus

14 Gryphon™ D432/D412Plus

or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. (See "Technical Features" starting on

page 119 for further details).

Normal Operation

Gryphon D432/D412Plus normally functions by capturing and decoding codes.

Point the reader at the target and pull the trigger partially to enable the aiming system. Then,

pul

l it completely to capture and decode the image. The reader will repeatedly flash until the

symbol is decoded or timeout is reached. In between the flashes of the reader, the aiming system

keeps on showing the field of view on the target (see Figure 4 on page 13

).

As you are reading code symbols, adjust the distance at which you are holding the reader.

The Gryphon D432/D412Plus hand-held reader aiming system is designed for general reading and decoding of 1D and 2D

symbols. Some variation in reading distance will occur due to narrow bar width and other factors.

If reading codes positioned on reflective surfaces, it may be necessary to tilt the reader with respect to the barcode.

Normal Operation

Product Reference Guide 15

Image Capturing

Gryphon D432/D412Plus can also function as a camera by capturing images of labels,

signatures, and other items.

In order to capture an image, the user should read a Capture Image code (see page 80), then

point at the image subject and pull the trigger. This way, the image will be captured and sent to

the host PC. G

ryphon D432/D412Plus then returns to normal operation. To capture another

image you must read another Capture Image Code of the same or a different Preset

Configuration.

You can use the aiming system to position the reader fr

om the object (ensure the reader is about

centered over the target). Adjust the distance at which you are holding the reader (see Figure 4

on page 13).

If the RS-232 interface has been selected, the image will be transferred to the host PC via

XMODEM_1K protoco

l.

Up to four different and independent Image Presets can be defined (see page 81).

Basic Configuration Parameters

The Image file formats supported are: TIFF, JPEG (default).

The resolution available is 752 x 480 pixels.

For JPEG images it is possible to define the Image Quality level to address tradeoff

between

image file size and quality.

Advanced Configuration Parameters

By default, for all Image Presets, the window has its original coordinates equal to zero, its width

equal to 752 pixels and its height to 480 pixels.

Brightness Adjustment is availab

le in the range from –100% up to 100%, in steps of 1%.

Positive values shift the luminance up so that the image will result brighter. Default value is 0%,

meaning that no brightness adjustment is performed.

The same range of values (–100% up to 100%, in

steps of 1%) is available for Contrast

Adjustment. Positive values will increase the contrast, so that dark and bright objects inside the

image will be better distinguishable. Default value is 0%, which means that no contrast

adjustment is performed.

You can set the Image Color Depth by selecting 256 gray levels (def

ault), 16 gray levels, or 2

gray levels. Higher color depths yield larger image files. This option is ignored if the JPEG

format is selected, (256 gray levels only).

Image capturing is not available in Wedge and USB Keyboard Emulation interfaces and is not compatible with Autoscanning

nor when the Software trigger type is selected.

Using the Gryphon D432/412Plus

16 Gryphon™ D432/D412Plus

Autoscanning

Normal Mode

Gryphon D432/D412Plus provides an autoscan command (see page 78), which when enabled,

causes the reader to scan continuously and to monitor th

e central zone of its reading area. In this

way, Gryphon D432/D412Plus is ready to capture any image (containing a potential code)

positioned on a

uniform background.

The aiming system can be enabled to indicate the reading area of the potential code to be

captured. The

illumination system can also be enabled when the ambient light conditions are

not sufficient to autodetect the potential code to be captured; furthermore, the illumination

system increases in intensity for an instant when capturing and decoding an image. A safety time

may be defined to prevent Gryphon D432/D412Plus from reading the same code repeatedly.

If the decoding is completed successfully, the reader starts monitoring the reading area again. In

case of

decoding failure, Gryphon D432/D412Plus keeps on decoding until a potential code is

present in the central zone of the reading area.

Pattern Mode

The Autoscan pattern mode is particularly advised when reading barcodes positioned on a non-

uniform background. In these cases Gryphon D432/D412Plus may perceive some elements of

the background as barcodes and start the decoding. To avoid this undesired effect, the Autoscan

Pattern Code is placed in the Gryphon D432/D412Plus reading area which prevents decoding.

Using this code as the background, code reading takes place normally by presenting desired

codes to be read over the Pattern Code. Between each code read, the Pattern Code must be

presented to the reader.

The Pattern Code can be printed from this manual (see Appendix D).

In case of low ambient light conditions, Gryphon D432/D412Plus automatically activates the

illuminat

ion system. If desired, the illumination system can be enabled so that it is always active.

Defining Data Formatting

The string of a decoded code to be sent to the host may be formatted as follows:

• defining simple data formatting (see page 48);

• defining advanced data formatting giving complete flexibility in changing the format of

data (see "Advanced Data Format"on page 91).

When both simple and advanced data formatting

are selected the info is processed in the

following order:

1. The string of the decoded code is processed acc

ording to the advanced formatting rules;

2. The resulting string is processed according to th

e selection type rules of the simple data

formatting;

3. Character substitution is performed on the resulting string;

4. Character deletion is performed on the

resulting string;

5. Code concatenation is performed;

6. Code ID is attached to the resulting string;

7. Global headers and terminators are attach

ed to the resulting string;

The codes to be sent to the host may also be selected or ordered depending on the following two

conditions:

• one code per scan: Gryphon D432/D412Plus s

ends the code being closest to the image

center. If the "Central Code Transmission" command is enabled, only the code containing

the image center will be transmitted (see page 77);

• all codes per scan: the codes to be sent to the host may be ordered either by length or by

symbology star

ting from the code being closest to the image center (see page 77). When

enabling both these criteria, codes belonging to the same symbology are sent to the host

depending on their

length.

Concatenation

It is possible to concatenate up to 4 different codes, set their length and enable the intercode

delay between them (the intercode delay is set in the specific interface parameters. When

enabling the delay one or more global headers and terminators are added to the decoded data.

The concatenation procedure may occur in different ways depending on the number of codes to

be decoded per image.

One Code Per Scan

• If the code resulting from the single decoding of an image belongs to one of the code fam-

ilies to be concatenated, it is saved to th

e Gryphon D432/D412Plus memory waiting for

other codes to complete the concatenation.

• If the code belongs to the same family of a code previously saved, it overwrites the old one.

• If the code resulting from the decoding does not belong

to one of the code families to be

concatenated, it causes the concatenation failure and clears the temporary memory. If the

"Concatenation Failure Transmission" command is set to "Tx codes causing failure" (see

page 56), this code will be sent in the output message.

All Codes Per Scan

• All codes resulting from the decoding of an image and belonging to one of the families to

be concatenated are saved to the Gryphon D432/D412Plus memory waiting for other

codes to complete the concatenation.

• If one or more codes resulting from the decoding belong

to the same family of codes pre-

viously saved, they overwrite the old ones.

• When the image contains no code to be concatenated,

the concatenation fails and the

reader temporary memory is cleared. If the "Concatenation Failure Transmission" com-

mand is set to "Tx codes causing failure" (see page 56), the codes causing the concatena-

tion failure will be sent in the output message.
